Academy Hill School, Wilton

Please meet Mark Gentle, a country artist from Farmington Maine. He is a multi-award winning vocalist and specializes in upbeat modern and

traditional country. He saw major success upon the release of his single "Carter's Song" which was written about his young son Carter, who has undergone 14 heart surgeries. "It describes my feelings as a father, after

witnessing the struggles my child went through" says Mark. "Carter's Song" has been embraced by the Congenital Heart Disease community
